The Wolf Gift

Anne Rice's legendary Vampire Chronicles immersed us in the mythology, lives and loves of a motley crew of undead they defined a genre. And now she has another age-old story in her sights, the terrifying werewolf legend... The werewolf is the classic monster of horror fiction — dark, gothic, with supernatural depth and power — but here it is reimagined and reinvented with all Anne Rice's supernatural sympathy and inventiveness, as a romantic being, a potentially tragic figure bestowed with the gift of transformation and transcendence. Only Anne Rice could make us wonder if it's possible love a man-beast but, in The Wolf Gift's hero Reuben, we have a brand new hero for a brand new audience. The vampire is dead... 2012 is the year of the werewolf.
